Dent/ding removal

Kerr · 02-21-2012, 08:21 AM

I've got a little ding on my rear wheel arch. Looks something like the very edge of the door trim of another car has hit it.

The paint is not marked or broken.

What does a small repair cost these days?

Any of the Scottish guys recommend someone either up in Aberdeen or across the central belt?

Usually about £60 round my way.

Yep, I had two door dents fixed on Saturday it it was £60.

Guy I was recommended a guy called Martin from Dent Devils. Haven't had a chance to use him yet as I'm offshore but is highly thought of by the guys at 'Polished Bliss' who told me about him.

Told he was somewhere in the region of £50 per panel.

His mobile is 07702 162 962 so you could call him and get a quote in advance.

You could do me a favor if you do call him and let me know what he says as I'm hoping to get some work done when I get home from here.

Cheers

What he said ^^^

I just Tweeted PB and asked for you. The reply came back as Martin at Dent Devils too.

Any chance of some before and after pics?

I had a ding on my previous car where the wheel arch lip goes flat. Dealers said its a PITA to get out.
Would have thought its a fairly common area to receive some damage.

Hope all gets sorted, lee

If it's any help I know some of these guys can work miracles. I had a nasty scrape/dent on the rear passenger side wheel arch on a three door A3. The scrapes polished out but where the other car had gone down the side of mine and caught the flared arch the panel had been pushed in. The guy I used took out the rear light cluster and drilled a small hole to give access to the back of the panel. He worked at it for about an hour, put a rubber bung in the hole and then replaced the cluster. Amazing job. I could still just about see a slight distortion but that was only because I knew it was there. No one else ever saw it unless I pointed it out.
